Core i3 540 at 4 GHz?

AvoK95 · 2011-06-16T15:26:16+00:00

i got an Intel Core i3 CPU @ stock its 3.06 GHz people have very very easily over-clocked their i3 530-s to 4GHz(530 is 2.93GHz @stock) i seen someone in th...

Temp figures are totally off...old gen c2d's are some of the coolest chips intel has ever produced...remember the pentium 4 / D with its NetBurst architecture. Now THAT was hot!

Nemesis-301 wrotethe normal temps are the following:
cpu: between 36 and 63
gpu: between 52 and 90
Nbridge : between 36 and 63
Motherboard : between 50 and 80
the temps depend on the CPU
an i7 980x runs at 60 at idle and can go up to 100 durin gaming and stuff

Gulftown hexa-cores (980x) runs cooler than the i7 9xx quad cores...check any review...it has the same TDP too...and 32nm vs 45nm

it doesn't matter how many cores it has... it depends on nm of the cpu chip

It depends on both. 32nm quad cores should run cooler than 32nm hexa-cores, but 32nm hexa-cores run cooler than 45nm quad cores. As cores increase, number of transistors increases. Heat increases.

exactly, depends on both

ok
i got a new graphics card and a 750W PSU
i had a hunch that the cpu might overclocking the igpu too
but now i got a seperate graphics card and it still isn't overclocking more then 3.4GHz :(

yasamoka

H55, if I'm not mistaken, overclocks both your CPU and the integrated GPU regardless if you have a separate graphics card. Can you disable the iGPU by any chance?

no i can't
i can only choose my primary GPU which i have put PCI-E x16
but i should be able to esily OC to 3.6 because iv seen someone who has OC-d to 3.6 with the 530(2.93@stock) mine is 3.06 at stock

yasamoka

Yes but what board / chipset does he have?

yasamoka wroteYes but what board / chipset does he have?

he has the same motherboard as me (he's MegaCool

doesn't matter, you could be unlucky owner of a bad chip, or he could be a lucky owner of a golden chip, also, alternately the 530 and 540 may have different multipliers which also effects overclocking

yasamoka

Yes but Core i3 can EASILY reach 4GHz. I doubt that a bad chip would only reach 3.4GHz. Also, if anything he has higher multipliers, which allows him to OC further, although it doesn't mean that it's a better chip. My i7 930 overclocks to 3.6GHz with no voltage bump and to 3.8GHz with a very slight bump. The i7 920 is a better overclocker than the 930. It had better batches than the 930.

hmm, his ich heats like mad :P

AvoK95

my motherboard only has the feature to changed the fsb and to change the cpu multiplier and decrees the ram multiplier from 10 to 8 and 6
my ram has voltage tweeks from 1.5 to 1.6 and 1.65
those are to onlythings i can play with
